Background: 

• Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki previously hinted that Warsaw could transfer a company of German-made tanks to Ukraine without Berlin's consent if its approval takes too long.
• German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said that western allies have not yet reached an agreement to provide Ukraine with Leopard 2 main battle tanks at the Ramstein format meeting, but he instructed his ministry to prepare for "the day that may come".
• Meanwhile, the German government assured that the question of supply of Leopard tanks to Ukraine has never been linked to the supply of Abrams tanks by the United States of America.
